From all over my flist.

RIP Andy Hallet.

And only 33. I had no idea he was ill, although apparently it was not a secret. From what people are saying it sounds like he was just as friendly in RL as on screen, where he brought colour and life and music into the dark world of Angel. *is sad*

The other news item that I saw was that Alyson Hannigan gave birth to a daughter last week.

It is such sad news ... I didn't know he was ill either.

May he R.I.P.

Oh, how sad.

I can't say I'm impressed with the name of the Denisof baby.

Agreed on both counts. Andy was so much fun, and apparently an incredibly nice guy ... and seriously, heart disease at 33? Wow.

And ... Satyana? Really, guys? It doesn't look a bit too much like you're trying to find the female form of Satan?

I doubt it. :-) My first thought was that they were going for something close to Satyagraha, the "love force" or "soul force" Gandhi taught as his philosophy.

There's also a website called http://www.satyana.org/ which says satyana is Sanskrit for "vehicle for action infused with the grace of spirit" and that its aims are to promote "Power of Reconciliation, Leading with Spirit, Women’s Spiritual Mastery".

So in other words, Alyson and Alexis have just revealed thmselves as New Age hippies. :-)

The Satyana Institute is the first hit on Google when you search for 'satyana'. Celebrity Baby Blog is the second hit. And that's after less than 24 hours... wonder how long before the order is reversed? :-)

That's so sad about Andy Hallet. I had no idea he was so young under all that makeup. He really made AtS work for me. I wonder what was wrong with his heart? Something structural maybe at that age?

If I'm remembering correctly, it was a viral infection that attacked his heart muscle. We heard about it at the Moonlight con when he was first diagnosed, and sent him a couple huge get-well cards.

I see from some other links that is was indeed cardiomyopathy-- scary stuff. Everything I've heard says he was a genuinely nice guy too; just makes it more tragic!

Yeah, I googled it and found on wikipedia:

Andy Hallett, a 33 year old actor from the television series Angel, died from cardiomyopathy in 2009, brought upon by a tooth infection five years earlier.

And it just makes me so damned mad that this happened to him. :-[

So, in the midst of life, death. Or vice versa. I'm still devastated over Andy's death.

And I've come to the conclusion that no celebrity should be allowed to name their own babies. However, I'm glad the baby arrived safe and healthy, and I'm very happy for Aly and Alexis.

I was so sad to hear about Andy. I hadn't had the chance to meet him, but I have never heard a bad word spoken about him.

It's also nice to hear a bit of good news about Alexis and Ally's baby. I was ambivalent about the name until I heard the meaning, which is kind of sweet.

Gah, there is too much bad news this week. I need it to be this weekend so I can go home and celebrate my Dodi's 90th b-day. I need happiness dammit! Since I can't find that, I'm going to go make a cake.

And I hope the birthday and cake come off without a hitch! *hugs*
The problem with the cake is that it is for someone's birthday, so I can't eat it. Luckily there will be extra frosting.

Thanks for the best wishes for the birthday. She is an amazing woman, and I think it will go well simply because the combined will power of her huge family refuse to allow anything to go wrong.
